To use the Simple MAPI functions, compile your source code with MAPI.H. MAPI.H contains definitions for all of the functions, return value constants, and data types. To call a Simple MAPI function, load MAPI32.DLL and use the Win32 GetProcAddress function to acquire an entry point. The function calling conventions should be FAR PASCAL.
All strings passed to all MAPI calls and returned by all MAPI calls are null-terminated and must be specified in the current character set or code page of the caller's operating system process.
